Eagle Dynamics F/A-18C Hornet - Mini-Updates - Litening Targeting Pod Intro and GPS Weapon Use
This is a first look at the Litening pod for the Hornet! It’s still early days, and this is very much work-in-progress. As an introduction video, this is provided to help you understand some of the basics and how to use it to set TOO targets for INS/GPS-guided weapons. In videos coming soon, I will delve into using the pod with laser-guided bombs, laser Mavericks, Laser Spot Search (LSS) mode, and setting target points for AUTO unguided bomb attacks.
Other elements will be coming to the pod like HUD symbology, INR and snow plow modes, additional reticles, AA mode, and more.

* MAGIC Select improved.
* Specific HUD page for POL.
* POL behaviour fixed.
DCS C-101 by AvioDev

* Added functionality of ADI DH light to both front and rear cockpit (it illuminates now when a/c altitude is below decision height).
* GA light in rear cockpit ADI illuminates now as well (previously only front cockpit GA light was operative).
* Partially fixed multicrew sync for canopies.

Edit: DCS F-14 Changelog
Today's F-14 patch is primarily focused on new content (including great community content) and tweaking the flight model based on detailed and exceptional SME feedback.
Next patch will include substantial art developments/fixes and other system/jester related additions.

Eagle Dynamics F/A-18C Hornet - Mini-Updates - Litening Pod for Laser-Guided Bombs, Laser Maverick, and LSS Mode
In the previous video we looked at the basic features of the Litening targeting pod on the Hornet and how to use it to designate targets for GPS-guided weapons. In this video we’ll look at how to use the pod to direct laser-guided bombs, laser Mavericks, and how to use the Laser Spot Search (LSS) mode to locate an off-board laser designation (single player and multiplayer).
Other elements will be coming to the pod like HUD symbology, INR and snowplow modes, slaving options, additional reticles, AA mode, and more.
As many of you already followed my project since 2012 with a lot of up and downs, I came to the conclution to set the DCS: BO-105 Project on ice to an undefined time.
What is the reason.
Reason is that I have many other projects which I'm working on and I don't wanna set up my mind on a project which don't find any interest.
It's nerve-racking waiting/acting 24 hours a day for a solution. I really want to finish this project with my heart but it's not easy to find someone to code with that punch of knowledge.
I hoped for a long time, so as you, that this project will see the light one day.
I'll continue the BO behind closed doors (quality-like)- maybe someone is interessted finishing this Project.
Thanks everyone for following my way, helping and supporting me ...
I promise you - if some door opens you'll get a response.
AV-8B NA JDAM HUD.
This is an alignment test for the JDAM HUD mode page. Target values are not real but test values.
JDAMs are still WiP.
"N0" does not means no, it is a status code. The 0 is the number zero, not the letter O.

Dotaz. Když chci instalovat DCS na jiné pc, tak na stávajícím musím deaktivovat ty co mají startforce (A-10C, BS2 a FC3)
A ty ostatní stačí jen smazat?
Ještě dotaz - je potřeba provést deaktivaci v stable i beta nebo je to propojeno když se to deaktivuje např. v stable tak je to komplet pokryto?

Já jsem skopíroval letadla v registrech a potom vložil do nové instalace. Nejdou mi totž odinstalovat něktré addony a tak jsem se uchýlil k této fintě. Někde na forech jsem na to narazil.

Je to šumák jestli (de)aktivuješ pod stable nebo betou, informace v registru je pro obě větve stejná.
We apologize for the blank newsletter today. For the first time since we started the newsletters we suffered a glitch in the delivery process. We hope it will be the first and last! We are working to fix this asap.
In the meantime, here are some screenshots of the upcoming DCS: Supercarrier!
